ICEF Podcast: The future of ELT: A call to action

Listen in as ICEF’s Craig Riggs and Martijn van de Veen recap some recent industry news, including Australia's planned cap on foreign enrolments and the economic impact of this year's new policy settings.

This month's episode features a conversation with Ian Aird, CEO of English Australia, and Jodie Gray, the Chief Executive of English UK. Both are leading important advocacy efforts on behalf of ELT providers in their respective countries, and each has an important perspective to share on the challenges facing the sector today.

We conclude with a closer look at Colombia as the latest stop for our “Keys to the Market” segment.
